Thx Brad.

I'm saving that space for actor's names :)

Ok, so I think the front is done?

BTW - could someone please tell me how the spine code number is made? I believe Felipe told me once, that it's the last digits from the barcode minus the two last digits? Anyways - that's how I made them here.

Thanks Paris :)


Here's an update. With the spine TT in white, I thought the front one should be as well.

Started on the back...

Worked some more on the back. I think it's about done; still need to sort the stills row - and get my hands on this logo: [attachment=16106:unknown.jpg]

Still unsure about the screen caps area.... :chin:

Is it too much with two quotes?

Hey JR! I think I liked the back layout of the last update better, having the image under the barcode and the synopsis on the left. Personally I like the two critic quotes. What is the white space under the screen caps for though? Maybe you could make the screen caps a little bigger using some of that area?

Not sure why you've left a white bar under the screen caps? all is well but i think i agree the previous positioning of the pic and synopsis worked slightly better ;) The spine pics kinda reminds me of Big Mommas House :P

Hi!

How would the front look if you moved all of the characters down so that only 1/4 or 1/3 as much of the lady's back is showing and then put the title treatment up top? Perhaps have the bottom of "DYKI" overlapped a little by Tom Hanks' head? As nice as your design is, I'm curious to see if this setup would work since it would allow you to remove the shadow from the bottom and let the color of the design really jump out at you.

As an aside, how would the text look if some pink or another color like yellow is thrown in instead of straight white? Or perhaps you could even bring back your red title treatment?

Cool collection. :)
